Abstract

It is not easy to say: that the search for the gender hidden in the new Iraqi women's novel may be different for the simple reason that there are deep-rooted gender themes in the consciousness of Iraqis in general, which are indisputable as long as it is a matter of adapting them to what they feel.Gender means the way society views us as women and men, and the way it expects us to think and act. This is due to the way society is organized, not to the biological (sexual) differences between men and women. The novel (kismat) by the Iraqi expatriate novelist Hawra Al-Nadawi, a story of a gendered story of a female living in a society in which the man tends to fear everything from death, which is the first obsession of him is the exhausted man far from the comforts of the home and family from those eternal ghosts that have been flirting with him. Her day from beginning to end, as well as the isolation that the man created for her in order to exchange roles with him in a life that may not lead to her pregnancy, and there is a social gender there that sets its red lines for her in speech, dress, food and drink.
